Does the Neat Board 32 work with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet? Here's what it supports and how each one works. It works two ways: as an appliance that runs Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms or another platform on the device itself, or in USB mode connected to a laptop or room PC, so it works with any meeting app.

Board 32 with any other app (BYOD)

Appliance or USB: which should you use?
Appliance mode gives the room a one-touch join button and no PC to maintain, but it ties the room to one main platform. USB mode lets anyone plug in a laptop and use whatever app the meeting is on. Many businesses run appliance mode for their main platform and use the BYOD/HDMI input for guests.
